. this anchored position the hind a selected record through the medium of a cable or cord 42, one end of which is anchored and wound several times around the side 43 of The cable 42 then extends over a pulley 45 which is supported on a shaft 46 secured to one end The cable 42 is secured at an intermediate portion to a stud 41 on the dove-tailed rib 34. From cable extends over a pulley 48 which is journaled on a pin 49 inthe other end` portion of the support 3|. From the pulley 48 the cable 42 extends back through the dove-tailed groove 32 overa pulley 5I) adjacentI .il

the pulley 45 on the shaft 46 and to the remain,- ing side of the spool 43 about which it is wound several times and anchored thereto at its otherend portion. Y

'I'he spool 43 is loosely keyed AAon a, shaft 52 which shaft l52 is rotatably and slidably mounted in openings in the bracket 53 and supporting arms 544-54 Awhich bracket 53 'and supporting arms 54-54 are 'secured to the top wal1l|2 and support 3|, respective1y,as.c1early shown in Fig# ure 5 of the drawings. The front end of the shaft 52 is provided with anlope'ratingv knob 55. To prevent undesired forward movement of the ,shaft 52, I provide ya stop rin Vthe form ofxaicollar 53' about the shaft52 which collar 53.1is` held in po-y sition rearwardly of the bracketf53 by Vmeans of a pin 53" which extends transversely' through the shaft 52. s

A plate 56is'swingably supported on journals 51 and 58` and-engagein aperturedextensions 59 andGU onthe backside' ofthe support 3| `near itsends. 1'

At one end-v of `theplate 56 I provide` a lever 6 I the lowerfend portion of ,which f is I positioned rearwardly of the back end of the shaft 52. The

plate 56 swings rearwardly against a spring 56A Partitions 62,'ar'1d 63 concealthe shaft52 and spool 43 in'onerendof the cabinet as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings.` I v l' The partition asf-,has an,.openingsa` tnereint permit passage of the knob l55'on inwardrnovementofthe shaft 52'.: (L 1H",

An indicator arm 'or' pointer `65l is.seoured-to the kicker' bar'block 33 at one'endportion and extends from ythe `block `33 Iover. vthe false top 2| to indicate theselecteddisk record by means of its downwardly bent end portion 66.

The operation ofthedeviceisas follows. The indicatoror pointer- 65 is moved' toa selectedv disk Vrecord 20 by `turningthe knob5,5.on ther shaft 52, Whichshaft rotateslthev spoolv 43 and transmits motion tothe kicker, bar` block 33 to move itlaterally iny the support 3|-, Asthec `lfzicker bar block 33` isgoperated it moves the. pointer 65 to indicate the `selected record.l The ykicker bar 36 is mounted on theblock 33 inV suona position as to be in alignment withthe record ,indicated by the pointer 65. The knob 55 `is now pushed inwardly forcing the inner end portion of the shaft 52 through the spool 43 thereby forel ing the end of the shaft `52 to swingthe arm 6I, on the plate, 56', toward Athe back wall I4 of the cabinet Il). ,The arm 6| swings the plate 56' which contacts' and moves 'the top portionf'the kicker bar 36 rearwardly Yand thereby forces the kicker foot 4| forward to ejectl one ofthe records Although4 l I have 'shown andk described herein a preferred lformfofrny invention 1t :is to be understood thatv any ychange or-changes may be made in the structure ,andy arrangement `of the several l parts, within. .the spirit of thewinvention as claimed.

a vbelt operated carrier Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is:

l. In a device of the character described, a cabinet for holding disk records, said cabinet including means yfor holding records of various sizes, and means for ejecting s'aid records and comprising a belt operated carrier having a kicker bar pivoted thereto.

2. In a vdevice of the character described, a cabinet for holding dis recordsreoord supporting blocks in said cabinet, and "means for electing said records from said cabinet and comprising having a kicker bar pivoted thereto.

3. In a device of the character described, a

, cabinetfor holding disk records means for sup- VDOrting said records independently in said cabithereto,l andv a flexible operating vmember for the carrier. f

5. In a'device of the cabinet forfholdingcdisk records means for supporting said records lindependentlyflinsaid cabinet .for individual ejection therefrom; ejecting 1 meansin the cabinetforsaid disk records, said ejecting meansy including 'a pivoted kicker bar, record indicating means, a carrier for the kicker bar and indicating means said kicker Ybar being pivotedto the `c'arriena flexible operating member connected to the carrier,- anda rotatably and slidably mounted shaft operatively connected to the nexible member for actuating the latter in opposite directions upon rotation of the shaft, and means providing an operating medium between the shaft andthev kicker bar for actuating u the latterf upon a reciprocating movement of the shaft.

6.-In a device lof=the'-character described a cabinet for holding disk records, means in said cabinet for supporting said records 'independentlyfor individual ejection from saidcabinet, an ejector-comprisinga shafta'knobon one end portion of said shaft, a spool loosely keyed on the other endportion of said shaft, a support for` saidshaft having a groovey therein', a block havinga rib thereon slidably engaged in said groove, a flexible drive member connecting the spool and -blockfor actuating the latter in opposite directions upon a rotation of the shaft, a pointez` onsaid block for indicatingthe record to be ejected, ya kickerwbarpivotally mounted onl said block, yand means' for operating they kicker bar by manipulation of the shaft.

` t7. In al device of .the character, described, a cabinet for holding a ,plurality of.` disk records means for supporting said records independently in saidcabinet forindividual ejection therefrom,

a kicker bar forejecting one of said records fromv character described, a-

in said cabinet for individual ejectionltherefrom,

means in the cabinet for electing a record from saidcabinet, a movable pointer for indicating the record to be ejected, a block, means slidably nectedwith the kicker bar for actuating the latter. t

' 8. In a device of the character described, a cabinet [for holding a plurality of disk records "means for supporting said records independenth7L 4supporting the block and said pointer, said eject- I ing means being carried. by the block, a cable connected to the block for moving said block, a

spool on which the cable is mounted, and means for turning said lspool, said last-named means .being movable independently of the spool and engageable with theejecting means for actuating the latter.
